Abstract

A high-voltage wiring structure in a vehicle includes an extending member extending in an extending direction which is a longitudinal direction or a width direction of the vehicle, a plurality of bulkheads respectively provided at a plurality of portions of the extending member in the extending direction, a high-voltage wire extended from a battery for driving the vehicle, and a pipe, in which the high-voltage wire is inserted, and which is surrounded by the extending member. A plurality of portions of the pipe in a longitudinal direction of the pipe are respectively fixed to the bulkheads by welding.

Claims (20)

1. A high-voltage wiring structure in a vehicle, comprising:

an extending member being a skeleton member of the vehicle and extending in an extending direction which is a longitudinal direction or a width direction of the vehicle;

a plurality of bulkheads respectively provided in an inside surface of the extending member at a plurality of portions mutually spaced in the extending direction;

a high-voltage wire extended from a battery for driving the vehicle; and

a pipe, in which the high-voltage wire that supplies electric power to a component of the vehicle is inserted, and which is surrounded by the inside surface of the extending member,

wherein a plurality of portions of the pipe in a longitudinal direction of the pipe are respectively fixed to the bulkheads by welding.

2. The high-voltage wiring structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the extending member is formed with an insertion opening through which the pipe protrudes from a space surrounded by the extending member.

3. The high-voltage wiring structure according to claim 2 , wherein

the insertion opening is situated at rear side than a front end of a strut house of the vehicle.

4. The high-voltage wiring structure according to claim 2 , wherein

the insertion opening is situated at front side than the dash panel of the vehicle.

5. The high-voltage wiring structure according to claim 2 , wherein

the insertion opening is formed at a position directly opposing the battery.

6. The high-voltage wiring structure according to claim 5 , wherein

an end of the pipe that protrudes from the insertion opening is inserted into a cover that accommodates the battery.

7. The high-voltage wiring structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the bulkheads extend along the extending direction of the extending member.

8. The high-voltage wiring structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the bulkheads extend in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the extending member so as to partition a space between the pipe and extending member.
